last month classical pianist yuja wang played at the hollywood bowl with the la phil and the next day, much of the press coverage was not about her talent, instead, it was about her wardrobe.
i think she looks cheap. i hate the haircut and i think the dress is tacky / too revealing. but! i think she can wear what she wants. classical music has a bad rap for being stuffy, but that doesn't have to be. wang is only 24 and she has a decent body, so she if doesn't want to cover up, she shouldn't have to. even though her dress reveals more than i'd like to see, her outfit isn't at all indecent, so i don't see what the problem is. besides, her most recent cd is titled "transformation". maybe she's using fashion to help transform the image of classical music to something more hip, even sexy.
(ps, why are her shoes so big? does she have to pick a size too large because of piano playing stuff? cause i don't think that's the case...)
